Just over two weeks to camp and Matt Kassian is still battling for a job.

The Senators have closed the door on bringing back the tough guy next season and he's still a unrestricted free agent with no deal in place as NHL camps get set to open later this month.

Though Kassian has offers of two-way deals or pro tryouts on the table from four-or-five teams, he hasn't got anything in concrete in place. He doesn't seem overly concerned.

"I've been fairly consistent in my play. I'm not a skilled player but you know what you're going to get. It's a tough year for a lot of guys for contracts right now and there's a lot of guys out there looking." said Kassian.

Kassian said he would have been happy to return to the Senators, but the organization has decided to move on.

"I wanted to be back and they felt otherwise. That's their right as an organization," said Kassian. "They try to do what's best for them and they make the choices they make."
